Its a good park that's just a short walk from bondi junction and is also relatively close to the beach too. You'll find lots of dog walkers, mums with strollers and kids making their way to the school, which is adjacent to the park. The park also has some netball courts, a footy field and a cricket pitch and stadium that's currently under renovations. A good park to go for a walk or run and get the blood pumping in the morning or after work.

If you are after a location that has views of the harbour, specifically of heads of Sydney Harbour heads, then you will not find better than this. The views are stunning! The other amazing thing about this park is that only in a Australia would you put a cricket pitch in such an awesome location. Seems almost a waste. Though... if you are looking for the ultimate place to fly a kite in Sydney.... this is likely to be it. Another big plus about this park, especially if you have kids, is the enclosed play area (near the toilets), which also has a BBQ ready and waiting. This place is awesome and a must visit, especially if you have people in from out of town.

If I didn't play football here a few times this season I never would have discovered the…read moreexceptional eagles eyrie that is Tania Park. Just across the Spit and 10 mins from Manly, Tania sits perched precipitously atop a bushy tabletop headland looking over Sydney Harbour and out through the heads into open ocean (and the pirate's law that I'm led to believe is in force in international waters). I watched Jessica Watson sail her yacht The Pink Lady back into Sydney after her record-breaking round-the-world solo voyage as a sprightly 16 year old from here, one of the highlights of 2010. Cracking for walks, dates, sports, dates, and dates. (and hey, do you fly kites? Because if you do, this place is your damned nirvana yo.)

This is a quick little lookout that sits adjacent to Kirribilli House (the PM's residence oooohhh)…read more Many people might not know it exists but if you are wandering down in that area check it out because once you get to the bottom of the steps there is a shelf of rock at water level that gives you an unobscured view of Fort Dennison. On the day I visited an angler was here doing a spot of fishing with his pooch, and we struck up a quick and friendly chat. He said he'd caught a few fish. I didn't want to impede on him too much so I took a few quick snaps, and bookmarked the spot in my brain for a return on another day. For photographers, I suspect that if you get down there early enough with the tripod you'd could probably get a spectacular sunrise shot, that hasn't been done to death like every other vantage point in Sydney. Hidden locations like this get a big thumbs up in my book :)

I discovered the Lady Gowrie Lookout entirely by accident. I wanted to have lunch on a Sunday late…read morelunch after completing 21.1km foot race in Sydney's CBD. This epic lovely overlook is basically in a Kiribilli residential sub division that overlooks Sydney's waterways. It's nice that it is basically around the corner from my accommodations here in Kiribilli for a weekend in mid September. Basically for my birthday and to run 21.1 km in and around Sydney's CBD district and on the harbor bridge. You can see leisure boats drift through area and just enjoy the landscape that this area provides. It's quite remarkable though how such a small scenic area can be one of the things to do on a trip here. It wasn't planned by any means, but I just saw a sign on the end of the street and that piqued my interest. I arrived here around 2:30pm after picking up lunch at the Thai Fusion Thai Restaurant nearby. The combination of great scenery and the Sydney waterway made the experience and lunch way more special and nice than to dine in the open air restaurant, especially when there is a public bench and a table for anyone to use. I'm sure that there is more of the lookout to explore, but I stayed near the street level and had lunch on the public bench. I probably have spent about 30 minutes here and noticed about 8 people coming through the area to check things out like me. Tourists do love a good sightseeing opportunity - as did I. The overall experience here at the Lady Gowrie lookout was simple, casual, quiet, and windy. Yes, it was rather windy that Sunday afternoon. It was rather annoying, but I welcomed it since I had ran 21.1km earlier that morning. Felt great to be there to enjoy the rest of the day unwinding from that experience. The lookout was inviting and quiet intimate, especially because it felt like a miniature park, bordered by water. I'm sure that the houses here along the water fetch an expensive amount of cash, but I'm sure it is well worth the stunning gorgeous views everyday. I imagine the Lady Gowrie lookout is maintained by the city authorities of Sydney or some local Kiribilli government department. If nothing else, private citizens and users of the lookout should keep the area clean and inviting. The Lady Gowrie lookout is located at the end of Kiribilli Avenue in the Kiribilli / North Sydney. I'm glad that my hotel accommodations were a short hop away, so I could discover this hidden gem on a whim. The best part of the Lady Gowrie lookout experience was that there is no admission fee required. That was clearly the best, although most of these type of parks and open green areas are usually free of admission. I was happy that there wasn't any type of gate or anything blocking access to it or needing permission to enter. Public green spaces are meant for the public to enjoy nature and an escape from the real world. Looking at the leisure boats while having lunch was nice. It made me think about what I want to do when I retire. Coming to Sydney and having a boat is a nice dream, so I will hold onto that dream till it becomes a reality. The ambiance was perfect and terrific. If you can drive here, there's always street parking along the residential areas where you can find them. Certainly walking is good too, especially when you can walk on the Sydney harbor bridge! However, if you are like me, there is a train station here in Kiribilli / North Sydney, but I decided to use uber to get here, so my legs can have a rest after that 21.1 km run mentioned earlier. For the most part though, I enjoyed my time here having the best time - watching the boats and wishing I was on one of them. Just for fun and just for a day, just to be one of those people who have a boat. Lol I would like to recommend coming here, if you like to have an alternate meal experience, rather than being at a nearby restaurant. Come do your take aways here and let nature do its thing. The surf helps soothe the soul and the boats help emphasize that I need to earn more to buy a boat! I would recommend coming here, if you just want something different. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. The table could be cleaner, but it's a nice green open space for anyone to enjoy. Support local! A

They do have barbeque areas, and quite a few of them, but they also have lakes, and just plain old good parkland to wander around.

I rode a bike through here on the many improved trails that crisscross through this public space. Through here, there were teams practicing rugby, enough bicyclists to start a biker gang, joggers, runners, and people who were out to just take in the sunshine. As you cross through this park, you find lots of green open spaces large enough to play a full game of rugby, without running into a park bench or a tree. There's restrooms available. My favorite thing about this park is the huge stone gates at each entrance that remind you that you're entering an important public space. There's monuments throughout the park, and plenty of parking! I felt safe riding through here, just due to the sheer number of people who were out having a stroll in the park!
